  Surely the next round of prohibition will fix this!

    The Spanish Parliament are looking at banning smoking on the (street) terraces… While that worked like a CHARM during covid… Not that anyone didn’t stand up, take one step away from the table and light up, and then- because there were no ashtrays they flick the butts on the ground (but don’t worry, the government will put up signs to day ‘don’t!’…problem solved!)

  Wow, it’s like if you price society out of legitimate, properly tested sources they’ll go elsewhere.

  I’m wondering why there isn’t an encouragement to grow tobacco. Isn’t growing tobacco for personal use, without sale, legal in the UK? Genuinely boggles my mind that there aren’t enough communities sprouting up for it, before people resort to illicit sources.
